Two Brothers delivers anthropomorphized poo, and Tigger, too!new
I am a big believer in being forewarned and forearmed, especially when it comes to movies for kids. So I have only myself to blame (and blame I do!) for the traumas witnessed by my 3-year-old, who had to be carried sobbing from the theater only 15 minutes into Two Brothers. My son’s palpable distress for the rest of the movie distracted me, almost, from how god-awful boring a movie it was: a slow, ponderous, heavy-handed and gooey tale of Family! and Love! and Tigers!

Who You Callin' Sovereign?new
George Bush’s “return of sovereignty” to Iraq’s U.S.-appointed puppet government this week is no such thing. What’s to come may be far worse than the senseless carnage we have seen so far, as the Great Deception of the Iraq War goes on.

Season of the Garlic Flowernew
Garlic "scapes" are the stuff of epic springtime parties: Invite your friends to eat the flowers, breaded and deep-fried, or roasted in olive oil—or wrap the scapes around your wrists and traipse about like Greek gods and goddesses.
